The alleged Rick Ross drive-by is the first high-profile hip hop shooting in a while, following the 2010 death of Hot 97’s “DJ Megatron” and last year’s shooting of rapper M-Bone as he was leaving the studio. But the days of rap’s top players falling like dominos seemingly every other day do feel like a bygone era at this point.

In recent years it’s seemed the fetishization of shooting and getting shot as a status symbol in rap has begun to fade. Let’s hope the trend continues. According to reports allegedly “dozens” of rounds were fired at Ross’s car in the drive-by. In an interview last month Rick Ross noted of his feud with 50 Cent that wringing his neck “would be an option” if he ever ran into them.
